It’s A Beautiful Day?!

Early on Tuesday morning, lives were lost at the #sydneysiege. While I slept, others slipped to life beyond. Leaving many to mourn. Lives changed, now marked. How changed, no one can grasp.

As I slowly went through the routine of my morning, deep in thought but not thinking, the familiar tune of my childhood came, as if on cue.

“It’s a beautiful dayAnd I thank God for the weather, ohhIt’s a beautiful dayAnd I’m living it for my Lord, ohh …”

“How do you do it?” Someone asked me once not too long ago, after a tumultuous week with many setbacks and disappointments. (If only he knew of others more serious that I had to contend with!) “How do you bounce back each day?”

“It’s a beautiful dayAnd it’s just going to get betterLiving each dayOn the promises in God’s word.”

Three motherless children. A family without brother, son, friend. #prayforsydney (And somewhere closer to my circle, three fatherless children.)

How do I go on? How can I welcome each day, a brand new day? How can I say, day in and day out, “It’s a brand new day!”

Because my eyes are set on eternity.

God promised and I anticipate his promises each day. And because I do, I notice that even in the middle of life’s storms, there are still many things to be thankful for. Not least of them, hope.

I really like the song It’s a beautiful Day… I have been looking for this song… I hope you can share the complete lyrics of the song… I normally sing it in the morning to remind me that everything will be alright as promised by God…
